Eventually, a customer complained to my manager, but the manager didn't believe him because normally I'm such a nice and accommodating person.

Similar things happened when I was even younger, working the same fast food job, except I'd get annoyed at managers and coworkers. I got bullied by a manager who was having family troubles and took it out on others, especially this one woman I just clashed with.

And I was righteous about my job, the drive thru worked like an assembly line and when someone from the head store came in to observe for a day and started doing my job and we were supposed to work in tandem and bag every second order, I insisted on bagging every order and playing dumb when we had both bagged the same order, even though I knew full well what I was supposed to do.

I was just a kid, but geez, who told me I was the president?

Is that just normal work life? Getting annoyed at people and being a jerk in return? Yikes. I don't like it, I don't want to be that person.
This really reminds me of a bit Louis C.K. did. He talks about how most all teenage workers have an attitude with the customer and he compares them to older people doing the same job.
